Chapter 196 Auction (Part 1)

Isn't this TV shopping!

In the Xianyang City auction house, Zhou Yang looked at the projection crystal mirror and the sound transmission conch in the cubicle, and automatically fell into a certain familiar experience.

In the world of his previous life, many ordinary people had this kind of experience, and basically everyone in every household could do it.

But in this world of immortals who can fly to the sky and escape from the ground, this kind of thing that ordinary people in the previous life could do, but only those high-level monks can touch it. Ordinary monks may not have heard of it, let alone see it.

After scanning the projection crystal mirror and the sound transmission conch, he patted Xiao Ying's jade hand and asked her to sit on the jade stool next to him. He looked at Cao Wenjin curiously and asked, "Senior Cao seems to be I am very familiar with this place, could it be that the seniors have been here before?"

When Cao Wenjin heard him ask this, his face flickered in a daze, as if he remembered something from the past.

After a while, Fang Cai nodded slightly and said: "I have been here once, but at that time, the old man was only a cultivator in the Purple Mansion, and I came here to participate in the auction just to gain knowledge, but I have never actually bid before!"

"I see."

Zhou Yang nodded suddenly, but didn't ask any more questions.

Ever since, the three of them waited silently for about half an hour, and suddenly there was a flash of inspiration on the projection crystal mirror in the room, and then a vivid picture appeared.

The picture shows the auction platform in the central area of ​​the white pagoda, on which a middle-aged beautiful woman in a red palace dress is standing.

Zhou Yang looked over, and saw the beautiful woman in the red dress smiled and said: "My concubine, Liu Yunyan, is the auctioneer for this auction, and I will preside over the entire auction next time, I hope all seniors will be in harmony with Taoism." Friends can get what they want today.”

"Okay, I know that seniors and fellow Taoists have precious time, and I don't have time to listen to my chatter here, so let's officially start the auction of the first treasure!"

After the beautiful woman in red dress Liu Yunyan finished speaking, she flicked her jade hand on the auction table in front of her, and an extra jade bottle appeared on the table.

"The first treasure is five pieces of Foundation Establishment Pills. The starting price is 50,000 low-grade spirit stones, and each increase should not be less than 1,000 spirit stones. Now, fellow Taoists who are interested in bidding, please tell us your bids to the sound transmission conch. price."

In the cubicle on the twenty-eighth floor of the white pagoda, Zhou Yang heard Liu Yunyan's seductive magnetic voice in the projection crystal mirror, and his heart became hot. He didn't expect that the first auction item was Zhuji Dan. treasure.

But he is just jealous, now he is penniless, all the spirit stones are in the hands of Cao Wenjin, even if he is jealous of the bottle of foundation building pills on the stage, he can't take part in the auction, and in the end he can only look at the eleventh floor A cultivator in a cubicle in the city bought five Foundation Establishment Pills with 89,000 spirit stones.

"Okay, congratulations to the Taoist friends in the room on the 11th floor for successfully obtaining the first treasure in this auction, and the second treasure is a fourth-level middle-grade magic crafted by a fourth-level high-grade refiner. Artifact [Xuan Frost Sword], this magic weapon is made of..."

In the projection crystal mirror, Liu Yunyan took out a blue flying sword exuding white cold air, and shot out a stream of mana that fell into the flying sword, and the flying sword "swished" into a sword-testing stone tens of meters in front of her. In an instant, the entire zhang-long sword-testing stone was frozen by the cold air emitted by the flying sword.

"The fourth-rank middle-grade magic weapon [Xuan Frost Sword], the starting price is 30,000 low-grade spirit stones, and the price increase should not be less than 1,000 spirit stones each time."

The items that have won the auction, whether it is medicine pills, magic tools, talismans, arrays, or other treasures, are worth no less than ten thousand, and the final transaction price is often higher than the market price.

But don't think that those who bid for treasures will be at a disadvantage, because all the treasures that can be obtained at the auction conference, except for the medicines that are not easy to distinguish, magic tools, talismans, formations, etc., are all of the same level. The best of the best.

These things are usually hard to see in shops outside, and they will only be auctioned and exchanged at auction conferences and some exchange meetings.

"Now this is the seventh auction item, the remains of the rare monster Earth Dragon Earthworm. Regarding the information about Earth Dragon Earthworm, all fellow Taoists know that this monster has lived in the underground at a depth of hundreds of feet all its life. He is very good at hiding his aura, as far as I know, the last time someone left a dragon earthworm for sale was more than 170 years ago!"

"In short, this treasure is very important to fate. Fellow daoists who know its function will naturally exchange it with thousands of gold. If you don't know its function, if you are interested, you might as well buy it back and keep it for collection. Maybe it will be able to play a big role in the future. effect."

"Okay, I've finished what I have to say, and now I'm going to auction the ten-foot-long third-rank high-grade monster earth dragon earthworm. The starting price is 5,000 low-grade spirit stones, and the price increase should not be less than 500 spirit stones each time! "

After Zhou Yang waited for about two quarters of an hour, he finally got the Earth Dragon Earthworm he had sent for auction.

This kind of treasure was once exchanged by Zhu Ziyu with the Foundation Establishment Pill, which shows its preciousness, and he also wanted to know if other people would be interested in this treasure.

What disappointed him was that after Liu Yunyan said the starting price, no one bid for it within dozens of hours.

According to the rules of the auction, if no one bids for a treasure after the auctioneer announced the starting price of 120 interest, it will be regarded as a failed auction.

"Five thousand five hundred spirit stones!"

Zhou Yang gritted his teeth, and under Cao Wenjin's fierce eyes, he called out a bid higher than the reserve price for the Transsion Conch.

After he finished shouting the price, he cupped his hands at Cao Wenjin and said, "Don't be angry, old ancestor. This item was sent for auction by this junior. I don't believe that this item is really not worth five thousand spirit stones, so I want to ask for a price." try."

Hearing his explanation, Cao Wenjin's expression softened, and then he looked at him with warning eyes and said: "Don't say that the old man didn't warn you, boy, if you dare to bid indiscriminately, the consequences will only be borne by yourself. Don't think that the old man will give you a spirit stone!"

"Don't worry, the ancestor, the junior understands the seriousness of the matter."

Zhou Yang nodded, but his attention was all on the projection crystal mirror.

His asking price just now is undoubtedly a kind of temptation. If no one is interested in the remains of the earth dragon earthworm, this treasure will definitely return to his hands.

If someone is really interested in this treasure, then the reason why they didn't raise the price before is intriguing.

In fact, Liu Yunyan was the first person to breathe a sigh of relief after hearing Zhou Yang's bid.

Even though she didn't understand why the people in Xuanyang Pavilion arranged a piece of earthworm slough into the auction item, but as an auctioneer, any unsold treasure would be a stain on her career.

Now that Zhou Yang had called for the price, even though it was just a price increase on top of the reserve price, the treasure would not be sold. As an auctioneer, of course she was greatly relieved.

So after Zhou Yang finished bidding, she directly counted the time, and planned to finalize the transaction only after the 120 interest time had passed.

In her own mind, she didn't expect a second person to raise the price at all.

What she didn't expect was that after one hundred and fifteen breaths of time passed, someone called for a price again.

"Six thousand spirit stones!"

A deep voice fell into Liu Yunyan's ear through the sound transmission conch, which made her look stunned, and then she shouted with a bright smile on her face: "The fellow daoist in the T-sized room on the seventeenth floor gave out six thousand spirit stones!" , is there anyone willing to pay a higher price? You must know that this is a once-in-a-hundred-and-seventy-year treasure, even if you don’t need it temporarily, it’s definitely not a loss to buy it back as a collection!”

"Six thousand five hundred spirit stones!"

Zhou Yang shouted very quickly this time, his face was full of excitement.

Someone raised the price, which means that he guessed it right, the earth dragon earthworm was left behind, and I am afraid it really has a big effect.

Zhou Yang: "Seven thousand spirit stones!"

"Nine thousand spirit stones!"

Zhou Yang: "Ten thousand spirit stones!"

"Twelve thousand spirit stones!"

Zhou Yang: "Fifteen thousand spirit stones!"

"Seventeen thousand spirit stones!"

...

When the price was raised to 17,000 spirit stones, Zhou Yang didn't dare to raise the price anymore. This was already equivalent to the price of a Foundation Establishment Pill. It's really a big loss.

"Good boy, I can't see that you have such means and courage at such a young age. This really impresses the old man!"

In the cubicle, Cao Wenjin waited until Liu Yunyan finally announced the transaction price, and finally looked at Zhou Yang with a look of surprise and sighed.

It's not surprising that there are entrusted bidders at the auction, but it's rare for Zhou Yang to dare to double the price, especially since he sent this treasure by himself.

You know, if the buyer gave up before Zhou Yang this time, then Zhou Yang would not only get back the lost Earth Dragon Earth, but also pay Xuanyang Pavilion a handling fee of at least 1,500 spirit stones.

According to the rules of the auction, if the final transaction price of the item sent for auction is less than twice the starting price, the auctioneer will charge a commission of 5% of the transaction price; A 10% commission is charged, and if the transaction price is more than three times the starting price, a 15% commission will be charged.

In short, the higher the auction price of the treasures at the auction, the higher the commission charged by the auctioneer, the highest can even reach 50%!

Auctioneers, on the other hand, can usually take 10% of the commission obtained by the auctioneer as their own commission.

Don't think it's only 10%, it's very little, in fact, after a large auction, just relying on this 10% commission, the auctioneer can harvest tens of thousands or even tens of thousands of spirit stones!

That's why Cao Wenjin lamented Zhou Yang's boldness. Fifteen hundred spirit stones didn't seem like much, but just because he yelled a few words, not only did he not earn a single spirit stone, but he lost so many spirit stones in vain. But it's not that big.

"The ancestor praised it absurdly. It's just some tricks. It's hard to be elegant. It's really not worthy of the ancestor's praise."

Zhou Yang shook his head, not feeling proud of it.

Of course, he would not tell Cao Wenjin that the confidence in his daring to raise the price actually comes from the "Kanyuan Lingshui" that has not yet been offered. As long as this treasure is sold, he will not lose money no matter how much he raises the price .

And as treasures were auctioned off one by one at the auction, Liu Yunyan finally took out the "Kanyuan Lingshui" that Zhou Yang had been waiting for for a long time.

"Next, fellow Taoists of the Purple Mansion who practice water-type exercises should keep their eyes open for a look at this treasure, because it is a treasure that is related to the chances of all fellow Taoists to become enlightened!"

In the projection crystal mirror, Liu Yunyan put away her charming expression which was rare, and took out a transparent crystal jade bottle with a serious face. The thing contained in the jade bottle was the "Kanyuan Lingshui" sent by Zhou Yang. .

"One piece of the fourth-order heaven and earth spiritual object [Kanyuan Lingshui], the value of this object, I believe I don't need to talk too much about it, all the fellow Taoists who know the goods know it well, so the starting price of this object is 70,000 spirit stones. The price increase should not be less than three thousand spirit stones!"

Liu Yunyan held up the crystal jade bottle in her hand with a solemn expression, so that everyone could see the water-blue liquid inside.

"Seventy-five thousand spirit stones!"

"Eighty thousand spirit stones!"

"Ninety thousand spirit stones!"

The atmosphere in the auction room suddenly heated up because of the quotations that made Zhou Yang's heart beat faster.

Give me time, and I'll finish writing the auction in one go. Unfortunately, I took the train all day today and arrived at the company at eight or nine in the evening. Let me tell you another good news, I was quarantined by the company when I just returned to the company! So for the next fourteen days, I could only type in the small black room (crying to death). The dog managers prepared two boxes of instant noodles and a few bags of ham sausage for me. I really thank them!
